♠Derpeh♤ Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 You can try price it by matching up the history instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
56MinuteMek Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 You can try price it by matching up the history instead? I do that sometimes, but in this case it was a bit hard, also even if I didn't do that. His reaction was still pretty uncalled for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
∞Ramses Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Ask the previous seller instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c0Rn!x Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 always ask the previous sellers, most ppl react like him is because they think you lower their price. But he is the most unfriendly guy ive seen, normally ppl politely say no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aria Heavy-Hand Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Oh the kinds of hemroid-infested people you meet when you go about this community, http://imgur.com/NmVO5v0 (for clearer image) Heeey, I tried to buy something from that guy once. I never did, he got back to me too slow. Now I'm glad I didn't. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Funny, some guy treated me excact same way when I tried to get one sale from him. He insulted me and bp.tf. Why they even care about backpack.tf prices if they hate it lolBecause they're hurt hurt five-year olds. But, he's not entirely "wrong" Bptf is ultimately bad for unusuals as it leads to a constant devaluation due to overpay and people being stupid. And it makes trading annoying because it 'forces' people to care about a 1 scrap difference. Ultimately unusuals are too rare to accurately price as prices are highly subjective and based on averages (I.e. The more sales the more accurate prices are, and unusuals just don't get traded in a large enough volume). Plus Bptf fails to include how long an unusual takes to sell, was the offer rare/common and did the trade occur because the person wanted the other hat more, did he value the other hat more/less, did he think his hat was worth more but the new hat will be easier to sell/more stable/etc... Tl;dr unusual price lists really don't work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin the Chicken God Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 http://i.imgur.com/vv6395y.png you'd be amazed how often this happens, I always try to give tons of credit to people who are nice in my suggestions There are a few reasons behind this 1. they dont understand that if they buy into a new effect, even if they pay full price, it WILL go down 2. they think that if the bp.tf price gets lowered, they lose profit, even though it's very likely that they paid under the price and want to maximize profit they wont get anyways (one guy added me he was so angry about my lowering the scorching buto to ~14, but he later sold for 13.5 pure) best thing to do is block them (especially if you trade unusuals a lot), if lots of people do this then they'll have a limited market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynexyl Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 the thing with that is, they are not completely wrong. not about being rude, but lowering an unusual price usually causes more lowballs also, their inflated price helps making it more valuable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco Blaze Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I take it that the lie "I'm trying to make an offer on another one" doesn't go over well either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators fisk Posted April 1, 2014 Administrators Share Posted April 1, 2014 Wait, back the fuck up. The guy mentioned in the OP uses the site enough to care that I broke the trade calculator since he created a ticket about it a few days ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
